dailykos: Ernst says Trump "was on it (coronavirus) from day one"

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/5/8/1943497/-Senate-Republicans-settle-on-praising-Trump-s-coronavirus-butchery-all-the-way-to-reelection

Iowa's Sen. Joni Ernst was all sunshine and rainbows too.

“Generally, I feel [Trump’s] done a very good job,” Ernst said. “He was right on it from day one prohibiting travel from certain countries and so forth. I think it was the right thing to do.” Except that the virus was already here and spreading as Trump spent the nearly two months dismissing the lethal invader as a "hoax." Meanwhile, back in reality, American deaths sped past 75,000 Thursday and will easily surpass 100,000 in the next several months. But sure, Trump was "on it," whatever that means.

No surprise. Joni is betting the house on Trumpy coat tails.

the Covid 19 is killing all those folks that are not one of hers.

JBS is Swift and Company and they are allowed to import beef from Brazil.

Smithfield foods is owned by a Chinese Billionaire closely associated to the China proletariat.

Follow the money.

In person, she actually looks dumb. She is one of those people with a permanent clueless and vapid expression on her face.

It breaks my heart that this dimwit has the title of United States Senator. She is another republican mediocre hack with a little bit of charisma who got pushed along by the party leaders because they knew people would vote for her and that once in office she would do as she was told. It is a sacrilege.

Did I say she is dumb? Wanted to make sure I didn't leave that out.
